Jonny O'Mara wins his first singles ranking point with a 5&2 win v fellow Brit Sam Hutt in Bournemouth. Allan will be pleased.

Golding unfortunately will be looking at a big tumble down the rankings in the coming weeks, defending 37 points over the next month. Won just 1 match all year, having missed a chunk with injury and having really struggled to find his form since.

Broady also missed most of season with injury.

Of all the youngsters, it's Tom Farquharson who's been most impressive, perhaps even more so than Edmund. The 21yo has been bageling players left right and centre through qualifying and reached a couple of Futures SFs lately, twice beating Adam Pavlasek (18yo in top 500) and had just beaten Dubarenco (same year as Olly, also top 500). Will rise into top 750 on Monday from #1230 at the start of the year.

At one point last year we had Ward in the top 150, Baker in the top 200 and Goodall just outside. Now Murray will be the only Brit in the top 250! Just really disappointing. Ward should be able to get back into the top 200 in the latter part of the season where's defending almost nothing, but Baker hasn't won a single match outside Futures since the AO and Goodall has had a torrid season. Seems like only Corrie, Edmund and Farquharson are really progressing this year.

Guaranteed 2 GB semi-finalists. 5th seed Jason Kubler was on a par with Tomic (and a year younger) at junior level before an injury-ravaged season (hugely damaging at junior level). Massive potential, still only 19. One of a dozen Aussies with top 50 potential.

16yo Coric qualified in Bournemouth, then won it, then travelled to and qualified for Edinburgh and is now into the QFs here as well. 11 wins in 11 days. Crazy.

Corrie (thrashed last year's junior #1 Peliwo yday) and Milton are top seeds in Greece.

Watching James Ward playing a rain delayed QF in China against 21 yr old Serbian Danilo Petrovic.

Dreadful 1st set, 0-6, winning only 5 points! Tighter 2nd one, but Wardy broken with Petrovic to serve for the match at 5-4. Ward broke back, went 2-5 down in tie break before winning it 7-5. Now leading 3-0 in the 3rd set.

All the seeds out in this tournament, with the highest ranked (Ito, came in as qualifier) also out this morning. All very unpredictable!

Then Petrovic takes a medical time out - as Zverev did against Ward when he'd gone two breaks down in the last tournament. But Ward not collapsing this time so far. Leads 5-0
